In fact, the football staff has changed the current system at Nutter Field House so that players can go in whenever they wish and watch film together.

"There are so many of our players wanting to get to watch film on Saturdays and Sundays," Phillips said. "We're in the process of getting a system where our players can get in at any time. We've never had that. We've never had that where guys just can't wait to get in the building on the weekends, on their off days. I'm excited about that."

New addition

It's not often that a three-star prospect just shows up on Kentucky's campus and walks on the football team, but that appears to be the case with Damon Sprouse, a 6-foot-5, 255-pound offensive lineman from Atlanta.

Sprouse, a three-star lineman according to both Scout and Rivals, was ranked as the No. 78 offensive guard in the country by one service. He was listed as having offers from Louisville and Southern Miss.

He arrived on campus Thursday as a walk-on, UK spokesman Tony Neely said on Friday afternoon.

UK fans' first look at the new team will come on Saturday at Fan Day at Commonwealth Stadium. The day will include an open practice, which is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. as well as an autograph session and fireworks to end the free event.

Gates open at 5 p.m. UK notes only gates 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 will be open.
